What human right do I have to Amazon not owning a vacuum company?

Nothing. But you probably don't see one located in Europe, because they would need to allow strikes, there is good level of minimum wage protection in general and strong privacy laws. It is harder to stalk the toilet breaks for employees.
Median wages in the US are considerably higher than in Europe. Amazon wanted to buy iRobot but was blocked by regulators.
